Angstrom Simpad Test Images

[mr_nice]

Hi all,
there are now Angstrom testing images available at
http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/unstable/images/simpad/

They are based on kernel 2.6 which is under development. The apm bug is still not solved and some other things are not working [1]. So this image is for testing only and not for every day usage.

Hi mr_nice,

your image works amazingly well. Great work!  

But i have a problem when calibrating the touchscreen. The calibration stops after a few taps and starts over and over again. After 5 or 6 times the calibration was successful (well kinda, the touchscreen is off a few centimeters but useable).

During calibration i got the following over serial console:

Code: [Select]

evbug.c: Event. Dev: , Type: 3, Code: 0, Value: 660
evbug.c: Event. Dev: , Type: 3, Code: 1, Value: 595
evbug.c: Event. Dev: , Type: 3, Code: 24, Value: 499
evbug.c: Event. Dev: , Type: 0, Code: 0, Value: 0
evbug.c: Event. Dev: , Type: 3, Code: 24, Value: 0
evbug.c: Event. Dev: , Type: 0, Code: 0, Value: 0

and so on...

and so on...[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=158667\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

Hi,
thanks for testing.
The evbug.c stuff is normal and even good . Evbug is activated for testing and it shows what the touchscreen and button driver are doning (which events they are sending to the input dev). Later this will be disabled.

Ah thanks for the info. I figured it out myself, the second time i bootet. The first time i logged in as root and the debug output was gone.

But what about the strange calibration behavior? Is this kernel related or is it a angstrom bug?

Hi,
I had a similar behaviour with the touchscreen calibration: The calibration allways crashed when I typed on the cross in the lower right corner. However after removig the CF card from the PCMCIA slot the calibration worked well. Might that be a general issue?

Hm, I also had this behavior on my pad. I will try to figgure out the reason.
